Text

Structure

This chapter can be grouped (with cross references to other parts of the Bible):

Verse 1

New King James Version

Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),[5]

Verse 3

New King James Version

knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,[6]

Verse 4

New King James Version

and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”[7]

Verse 8

New King James Version

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.[8]

Verse 15

New King James Version

and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,[9]

Verse 16

New King James Version

as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.[10]
